St.Johns River Ruckus 2022

Okay Kids....it's March 1st and we're about a month out from the Ruckus. It's time to start getting a boat uncovered, waxed up, oil changed and vinyl cleaned for some frolicking on the River. The Pre-Ruckus Scout Team has already been down in the Astor Area looking to possibly change the venue for 2023. Preliminary Reports are very positive so those of us that can get there early enough on Thursday are gonna go check out Renegades on the River Campground. It's on the St. Johns just a little North of Lake George in Crescent City. This facility has RV Camping, a few cabins a TiKi Bar and full service restaurant. So preliminary plans are to head up there Thursday early afternoon (weather permitting and Lake George conditions) to scout out the place, have a late lunch and to see if we wanna move there next year. 

Im booked up and ready. I was late catching up to this post and Mike snagged Bluegill before I saw it. So we are hooked up in the Squirrel Cabin. Boat has a new power plant and should be ready to go. 

Hey everyone...Just wanted to let everyone know that Parramores Cabin rentals are all booked up for the Ruckus. Hopefully we were able to snag most of them. All that's left are RV slots and maybe a tent site or two. If you're still wanting to attend then it looks like Deland is the closest town that has hotels. There are a couple of places in Astor that you might could try but little info about them is available. Their website is either non existent or limited so you'll have to call them to book. Hope everyone had a great Christmas and New Years. We've passed the Winter solstice so Spring isn't too far away. Start working on your boat body now for those who care. Time to lose those Holiday pounds...You've got a few months.

This is shaping up for sure

Paul , that would be awesome! Glad to see the list is growing. I'll let Les and Art know we're coming along with a couple of other CC dignitaries that wanted me me to inform them of the Ruckus for 22' as they'd like to come for a day if possible. Reid is planning on coming and I believe his sidekick CQ will be attending as well. One of my local ski buds has asked me about it and sounds like he'll be attending for the first time as well. Keep signing up Y'all. I'm already getting excited and looking forward to it!

Myself and some other fellow CCF hooligans may make the trip this year?!!

Woody will be there

Dino and Sue are in! We booked the Shellcracker again.

Right now I have to be in my graduate course at Vandy I teach till 7 pm on Thursday the 7th but I am working hard to change that.  Even doing the math on if I can get there to at least join yall Saturday if I can't get out of teaching.  Hope to join y'all.  

Just Booked my Cabin!  

Okay boys and girls..... The end of 2021 is almost here so that means its time to plan for a Ruckus!!!!!! After a few discussions and texts asking if I was gonna plan a SJRR for 2022 I started the process. LET'S DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The weekend is set for April 7-10, 2022 at Parramores Fish Camp. Unfortunately its not the same weekend as the Sunnyland boat show because there were only 3 cabins available on the weekend of the show. Following protocol as the Ruckus is planned after the time change and the only weekend with lots of RV slots and multiple cabin availability. If you want the CCFan 10% discount ya gotta call Parramores and tell em your with the ski boat club. Same plan as always, A Ruckus favorite and take the 25 mile River Run from Moss Bluff damn through the Dora Canal and back with a lunch stop somewhere is the plan for Friday unless attendees wanna cruise and ski the St. Johns. We can make the call Thursday night at The Landing for the traditional warm up party. Sat night cookout after a trip to the Silver Glen on Sat is on the logbook! Bring your Correct Craft to Astor and lets have some nautical fun on the St.Johns River!!
